I also take a taxi to the store. I cannot go shopping more then 2x's a month if I take a cab. I can and do bike there sometimes in the summer, it is about 6 miles away. Can't carry much in a back pack though.

Really glad you got rid of that sister! I am not close to my family who live in another state. It is just to much religion and judgement for my tastes.

Your advice about facing fears is helpful, thank you.

I hope you have a smooth trip to the store. Enjoy.
